This volume provides researchers and students with a discussion of
a broad range of methods and their practical application to the
study of non-state actors in international security. All
researchers face the same challenge, not only must they identify a
suitable method for analysing their research question, they must
also apply it. This volume prepares students and scholars for the
key challenges they confront when using social-science methods in
their own research. To bridge the gap between knowing methods and
actually employing them, the book not only introduces a broad range
of interpretive and explanatory methods, it also discusses their
practical application. Contributors reflect on how they have used
methods, or combinations of methods, such as narrative analysis,
interviews, qualitative comparative analysis (QCA), case studies,
experiments or participant observation in their own research on
non-state actors in international security. Moreover, experts on
the relevant methods discuss these applications as well as the
merits and limitations of the various methods in use. Research on
non-state actors in international security provides ample
challenges and opportunities to probe different methodological
approaches. It is thus particularly instructive for students and
scholars seeking insights on how to best use particular methods for
their research projects in International Relations (IR), security
studies and neighbouring disciplines. It also offers an innovative
laboratory for developing new research techniques and engaging in
unconventional combinations of methods. This book will be of much
interest to students of non-state security actors such as private
military and security companies, research methods, security studies
and International Relations in general.
